A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDE R

When I started Beautycounter in 2013, my goal was to create the beauty and personal care products that I couldn’t find anywhere else—products that performed without sacrificing safety. Ones that I could feel confident using on my kids and on myself.

Since then, tens of thousands of Beautycounter Consultants have joined our movement, dedicating their time to getting safer products into the hands of everyone. Many are wives and moms like me, and they took the job for the same reason I did.

But that’s not the only story driving Consultants to do this work. Some have battled cancer or other serious illnesses, and they want to teach their communities about the harmful ingredients in many products. Some want to earn extra money for their families while expressing their passion for beauty. And others are inspired by our advocacy work in Washington, D.C. Your “why” is sure to be totally unique as well. Whatever your personal motivation is for flipping through this book, know this: Our mission is important. And there is a real opportunity for you to build a successful business on your own terms, while also making positive change in the world.

In these pages, you’ll find information about what makes Beautycounter special, and a few stories from people like you who found their calling in this company.

Now is a great time for you to join our team. Because this time, it’s personal.

Our Mission,

06 |

Our mission is to get safer products into the hands of everyone—and everyone means everyone. We fulfill this mission by creating products that blend safety and high performance, and are committed to our rigorous ingredient safety standards. We also advocate tirelessly on the national stage for greater transparency and regulation in the beauty industry.

This story is unique and is best told person-to-person.

That’s why, as a direct-retail brand, we put our diverse team of Independent Consultants at the heart of the company.

We also connect with consumers across other channels— including e-commerce, traditional retail partnerships, and collaborations with other brands—but we wouldn’t be where we are today without this passionate network.

We consider our personal approach to business as original and disruptive as the products we create.

Our Model

“As a cancer survivor, Beautycounter’s commitment to not only transparency but transforming the industry gives me the passion to continue to educate my community every day.”

A S H L E Y I N SA N A Su r v i v o r, Mot h e r, C o n s u l t a n t How has Beautycounter changed your life?

Beautycounter has given me “Myself” back! Yes, it has given me freedom to work when I want on my own time, but the confidence is amazing! I am empowered within my community as a business woman, but also as an educator. That is a gift that should not be taken lightly.

What is Your Favorite Product?

— A S H L E Y I N SA N A ( Be a u t y c o u n t e r C o n s u l t a n t)

My favorite product is still the Cleansing Balm.

Make money while you make a difference.

Safer beauty sells itself.

There’s always someone you know who would be incredibly excited about high-performing products that are effective, gorgeous, and rigorously screened for safety.

— LI Z , K A N SA S C IT Y, M O (C o n s u l t a n t)

Yes, contributing to the better beauty movement is rewarding in itself. But when you join Beautycounter, you also have the opportunity to create significant income. As a Consultant, you can earn up to 35% retail commission from personal sales, and your earning potential increases as you build your team.

Changing the world and changing your own life for the better.

Just another way we’re counter to the status quo.

D I D YO U K N OW

The United States has not passed a major federal law regulating the cosmetics industry since 1938.

As a result, the US has only banned or restricted 30 ingredients, while Canada has banned nearly 600.

(The European Union, by contrast, has banned roughly 1,400.)

That’s simply not good enough. So we created a five-step ingredient selection process to ensure our products are as safe as possible.

As part of this process, we rigorously screen all potential ingredients for safety and prohibit the use of 1,500+ questionable or harmful ingredients when formulating our products, which you’ll find on The Never List™. We strive to source all of our ingredients from sustainable, non-GMO suppliers, and we’re transparent about what’s in our formulas. And we’re always learning, even commissioning our own non-animal studies to discover more about the health impacts of cosmetic ingredients.

Beautycounter prohibits the use of

1,500+ questionable or harmful ingredients when formulating our products.

“I work with a team that is very diverse.

We come from all walks of life, various ethnicities and professions, and we come together for one reason – we believe in Beautycounter’s mission.”

J E N N I F E R TO R R E S Mot h e r, Ac t i v i s t , C o n s u l t a n t Why did you join Beautycounter?

When I was nine years old, I started my menstrual cycle and later learned I had an increased risk of breast cancer due to my prolonged exposure to estrogen. Since women of color have a higher incidence of early onset puberty, I wanted to help educate others about this issue and advocate for safer beauty.

What is Your Favorite Product?

— J E N N I F E R TO R R E S ( Be a u t y c o u n t e r C o n s u l t a n t)

I am loving the Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion, it’s part of a very simple routine for this busy mom and my skin looks & feels amazing!
